This is going to be a bitch to clean. You know how kids splash and make a mess in the bath, there's going to be water and scum building up if you don't get in there and clean every time. It looks like a total pain in the ass, it's hard to reach the floor space between the tub and the wall.

so what, you squat in the half tub like a fucking hobo? Where's the shower curtain? How do you keep water from getting everywhere?

I can see a shower curtain. You can either hold the shower head to wash "specific" zones or you can clip it to a holder higher up for a proper stand up in the tub-type shower. They are also really useful if you just want to bend over the tub to wash your hair.

i like it. they did a good job of keeping the vintage feel and making it fun for a kid. btw, the tub is an updated vintage, in a lot of victorians they convert the tub into a tub/shower combination by rigging the shower curtain around the tub as it is shown here.

I redid our kids bath kind of like that, except it doubles as a guest bath. So we have a yellow/blue color scheme. I have a old fashioned looking pedestal sink with old-school knobs, the beadboard paneling on the bottom half of the walls, and the white hex tile on the floor. I did a dark grey grout instead of white so it would not look "dirty". The walls are yellow and the shower curtain is blue gingham and we have blue towels hanging on hooks. There's also a recessed double mirror medicine cabinet above the sink.
